Startup
A startup is a new company trying to build a scalable business, often using technology. Most raise money in rounds from angel investors and venture capital funds, trading ownership for capital, and many fail.
Why It Matters
Startups are risky bets: a few become giants, most disappear.
In India
India has one of the world’s largest startup ecosystems, from consumer apps to fintech and electric vehicles.
